One Week Until Christmas!

I have only been thinking about Harper's First Christmas outfit since the day I found out that I was pregnant. And now here we are, a week away, and I have no idea what she is going to wear. Part of me wants her to wear a fancy dress... but part of me wants her to be comfy and festive and covered in bows! It probably goes without saying, but whatever I put her in will end up covered in drool & food anyway.

Here is my collection of favorite Christmas Day Outfits... for your little lady or gent!

I am in LOVE with those big bow ballet flats. Our baby gap had them in black at one time but I couldn't get Harper's size. If anyone comes across an abundance of them in a 12 month size in your local store... send me an email! :) We may need to work something out!

For the next few days, we will be buried deep in wrapping paper & Christmas baked goods! If you follow me on Instagram (@jlgarvin) you may have seen this picture and my comment about how much I suck at wrapping gifts. I have visions in my mind about how I'd like the gifts to look, but I always end up with crooked wrapping, too much tape & a half assed bow that I tied too tight or too loose. I actually DO love wrapping gifts though... my favorite materials include kraft paper, bakers twine & washi tape! :) You can also create faux chalkboard gift tags with regular black card stock.

Aside from my failed gift wrapping attempts, I still have yet to get a perfect picture of Harpie Doodle in front of the Christmas tree.

So hold on to your antlers, people! The Christmas countdown is ON! :)

OMG I am dying over the reindeer sweater set! I'm definitely going to have to pick that up for my little guy to wear next year for the holidays :) So cute! I'll check out Baby Gap for you on the flats...maybe we've got a few in AZ.

Love the festive attire!!! I also have been thinking of what my little Waverly would wear for some time now ... And still have no plan!!! It will be one of those last minute decisions. They will look super cute either way!! :)

I saw those adorable flats at Baby Gap today & almost bought them! They only had one 0-3 pair (that still fit my 8 month old...), but the strap was broken. =(

I'm all about decorating the baby for the holidays too! I can't decide if my girl will wear her red corduroy Baby Gap dress, or this (more comfy) one:http://www.toffeeappletummies.com.au/products/Bebe-Baby-Girl-Stripe-Dress-Red-White-Stripe.html (Which I got on MyHabit, not here).

Who says she has to wear only 1 Christmas outfit?! Do a midday wardrobe change (or whenever she smears food or barfs all over her first outfit like my little lady does!) Merry Christmas. Kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah!

I think the gift wrapping looks great! I love how personalized you have made them, I will have to try that next year! I've had a blast keeping up with your blog (we just got married in September, but I know when we're having our first little one I will be referring to your site a lot! :)

I love all of the baby girl stuff out for the holidays, but I seriously struggled (and I'm still struggling) to put together outfits for 3 days of Christmas for my son. I wanted a red long sleeve onesie to put under one of his flannel shirts and I cannot find one without a lacey bow at the neck for the life of me! Stores are not making it easy to think outside of the outfit box for baby boys this year. Boooooooo

Thank you for posting little gentleman outfits too! I love it! I only wish baby gap still had the sizes I need for my Owen. I hope you can find those red bow ballet flats-they are adorable!! I only have an outlet store near me in FL but I'll take a look! Good luck getting the perfect christmas tree picture, where theres a will, theres a way!! Merry Christmas Garvins! :)

Very cute! My little one is the same...as soon as I break out the camera it's all business! WTH kid!? We got those ballet flats and they are FAB! I'll take a look at our local Gap. But last I checked it was mostly teeny sizes.

i so wish I would have saw this post sooner, ive had a hard time trying to figure out what my lil man is going to wear on christmas too, and that reindeer outfit is adorable! but i doubt it would get here in time for christmas now. lolthe sweet life of a southern wife

I bought those red ballet baby gap flats a couple weeks ago & have my little one in them on almost a daily basis because they are just THAT CUTE!! Your Harper girl is adorable & I love following your blog...its actually the only blog I do & have ever followed! :))
